YOKE FOR SUPPORTING GAS OR FLUID REGULATORS.
srncrrrcnrron forming part of Letters Patent No. 351,822, dated November 2, 1886.
Application filed April 6, 1886. Serial No.198,038. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, MosEs G. WILDER, a
.. citizen of the United States, and a resident of following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to furnish, first, a yoke or clamp for supporting gas or fluid regulators,-&c., which will operate to allow the removal of the regulator for examination or repairs without disturbing the joints of the inlet and outlet to said yoke, and to obviatethe necessity of removing a lamp or fixture which might be suspended from or supported by the yoke; and, second, to furnish in connection with said yoke a chamber or trap for collecting moisture or other: deposit from the gas.
In 'the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and in which similar letters of reference indicate similar parts throughout the several views, Figure 1 is a centralsectional elevation through my clamp or yoke andthrough a gas regulator supported thereby; Fig. 2, a section of Fig. 1 on linear or, and-Figs. '3 and 4, side elevations of modified forms of clamps. I y
In Fig. 1 L is the yoke; M, a hollow thimble screwing into the upper part of yoke; N, a cap for preventing dust or drip from entering the regulator; and O, a cored ordrilled chamber in yoke L, for receiving moisture or other impurities from the gas.
The yoke L is placed in the pipe which delivers the gas to the burners, one part of the pipe being screwed into the upper part of the yoke and the other into the lower part. The gas flows either up or down, according to the form of regulator used, passes through hole a in the top of cap N, and through hollow thimble M, either to or from the regulator.
The cap N and thimble M are screwed into the upper part of the yoke L, as shown in the drawings, the thimble'being capable of being screwed up to allow the removal of the regulator from the yoke or down to clamp the regulator against the seat L on the bottom of the yoke. The moisture or other impurities in the gas collect in the chamber O in yoke L,
from whence they may be drawn off by removing the screw P, or by means of a stopcock or its equivalent.
In Fig. 3 the regulator is clamped directly between the upper and lower parts of the yoke. In this case the yoke L is madein two pieces, L L, which are suitably hinged together at 6. One part, L, of the yoke is furnished with a catch, f, or its equivalent, which is pivoted at g, and which may be drawn down over the in clined lug h on the other part of the yoke in order to bring the two parts together and to clamp the regulator firmly between them.
The devices that may be used for securing the two parts of the yoke together are numerous and well known, and while I do not desireto limitmyself to theparticular device herein shown and described I consider it as efficient as any other for the purpose.
As in the former case, the yoke is placed in the pipe which delivers the gas to the burners,- and the regulator may be removed by simply unfastening the catch f and opening the yoke. In Figs. 1 and 2 the center line of the regulator and the center line of the delivery-pipe coincide. In Fig. 4 a form of yoke is shown in which the regulator (not shown) is placed drip from this pipe falls directly into this chamber, from which it may be removed, as before described.
' Z is a thimble, of brass or other suitable metal, in which the thimble M, which clamps the regulator, works. The upper part of the yoke L is bored out so that the thimble Z can be slipped into it, and it is fastened in any suitable manner. This form of yoke, while not requiring a cap, N, as shown in Fig. 1, to keep the drip out of the regulator, presents a more symmetrical appearance when in its place inthe delivery-pipe. I
Having thus described my invention, I claim- 1. The combination of a fluid-regulator and the supporting yoke or clamp for the same, operating to allow the removal of the regulator for examination or other purposes without disturbing the joints of the inlet and outlet to said yoke, substantially as described.
2. An improved clamp or yoke for gas or fluid regulators, consisting of the threaded inlets and outlets for attachment to the deliverypipe, clamping surfaces L on yoke and on thimble M, and the threaded thimble M, for moving said surfaces to and from each other and into and out of contact with the regulator when required, substantially as described.
3. The cavity 0 it] the side of the yokeframe L, said cavity being connected with the upper gas-inlet in the yoke and serving as a trap for moisture or other impurities from the gas, and being furnished with a screw, P, or other convenient stopper, substantially as described.
